The Flower Kings - the best prog band of our time



My favorite band The Flower Kings has made a new album after five long years of silence. And wow, what kind of album! Banks of Eden (2012) is an impressive return to the top of their genre.

The Flower Kings is a Swedish progressive rock band, formed in 1994. Band has made in total 12 studio albums. If you like an old prog bands like Genesis and Yes, you would probably love The Flower Kings. Their music is melodious, positive and truly many-sided, there are impulses from classical music, folk, jazz fusion, heavy metal, and so on.

There are so much tones and dimensions in their beautiful and colourful musical athmosphere. Musicians are real virtuosos. The Flower Kings is a perfect stuff to my taste, real 'peace and love music'! It always comfort and refresh me, even if the lyrics are often so serious. Anyway, I believe in the healing effect of the music.

From my YouTube channel you can find two music videos from The Flower Kings, Train to Nowhere and Cosmic Circus. I edited those videos in 2009.
